The Boston Terrier, also know as "The American Gentleman", is loyal, affectionate, intelligent, handsome and lively.  There are so many words that can describe this breed of dog.  Bostons possess so many great qualities that make them excellent house dogs and companions.  They love to play, they are great with children, and they make themselves part of the family.  An article found on the American Kennel Club web site sums it up just right.

"He's as full of fun as a baseball game and as lovable as a Teddy Bear.  He's as reliable as a Chevrolet and low-maintenance as a pair of blue jeans.  He's as friendly as a cowboy and as courageous as a Minute Man.  He's always well-dressed and usually well-mannered."
